An introduction to consensual non-consent in tying Class type: Hands-on/Demo & Lecture Level: All levels Duration: 60 minutes Props: Three hanks of rope, safety shears, and something soft to lay on for ground techniques This class by Christian Red will introduce the topic of restraint for bottoms, show definition who wish to (play) fight back. This hands-on demo and lecture-based class will begin by exploring why it’s so difficult to tie people who are playfully resisting, then introduce some basic skills that will help to adapt the ties we already know for these unique circumstances. The class will conclude by examining how these new skills can be integrated into a variety of scenes. The techniques in this class are based on martial arts and have been adapted to create less risky techniques for a kink setting, however, there is still some risk involved. This class is suitable intermediate level and up, and all participants should understand their own risk profiles, be aware of the physical/emotional potency of BDSM/shibari play, and be able to communicate issues with their partner
